IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) A tragic collision between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger jet from Wichita, Kansas with numerous skating competitors on board left all dead. Over 60 are presumed dead at this point. Early indicators are that the air controller's station was down a man. Meanwhile, President Trump said the Rutabaga administration "ran the FAA right into the ground," and certainly there is circumstantial evidence that DEI hiring had turned away stacks of candidates. We now learn that one day before the collision, there was another near-crash at Reagan. And a small, private plane crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood.

2) The Senate confirmed Doug Burghum as Interior Secretary.

3) The Republicans keep marching on, as Hillsborough Co., Florida, has flipped red and Arizona has added another net 20,000 Rs since the election. New Mexico, which doesn't have as far to go to get red, added around 1,000 net new Rs.

4) The US placed tariffs of 25% on goods from Me-hee-co and Canada and 10% from Chy-na. Ostensibly the Canadian tariffs were for purchasing cheap ChiCom steel then selling it to the US as Canuck steel; to Me-hee-co for not doing enough to stop the cartels and the fentanyl traffic, and the Chicoms . . . just cuz. Canada and Me-hee-co retaliated. This won't end well for them.

5) Trump has fired the members of the National Labor Relations Board, and even better, he has told senior FascistBI agents to clean out their desks by Monday. Yo! Chudspudders---that means the porn, too.
